No need for Camber Arms with Megan Racing Coilovers?

I'm considering the Megan Racing coilovers and they make mention of a fully adjustable pillow-ball upper mount to allow camber adjustments. Does this eliminate the need for pricey 350evo or even the budget kinetix arms? I'm not looking for a tremendous drop, only 1" or so.

I've heard that Megan Racing coilovers are not very well made....

I haven't bought them yet. Reasonably priced ($900) and it's a definite bonus if with a medium drop (~1") you don't need camber arms. I'm even game for the SPC arms in back but hate to fork out +$800 for the 350evo arms. The folks over at clubRSX have very good impression and reviews of them so I wouldn't expect a drop in quality going to a different model.

I have to say, I would not define my impressions are "quite favorable".

Sorry, I must have mis-interpreted.

Anyways, back to the topic, do you need independent front camber arms?

Coilovers for our cars do not have camber adjustable plates like coilovers made for cars with a front macpherson strut desgin. So the answer is, yes, if you want to adjust camber in front you still have to buy some kind of aftermarket upper a-arm with adjustable camber.

Ah. Well, I have a set of rears on the way, I'm hoping the fronts can be brought back very close to spec if I keep the drop reasonable (1" or so).

Thanks dklau33 for the answer.
